Can you teach someone to be curious or humble? That’s one of the questions I explored with Jeff Gothelf in our latest episode. We also talked about a simple interview question that can reveal a lot about a candidate.

The best people I've hired had no experience in the role. They won on execution.
How is this FREE?!

I've spent 20+ years launching products and features.
I finally wrote down the early access playbook I wish I'd had when I started.

How do you know someone can actually do the job, and not just interview well? 👀
I talked about this with Michael Grinberg, founder and CEO of the RevOps and sometimes you need to see candidates in action!

60k buybacks 🤯
$MSFT offers 60,000 employees a voluntary exit.
60K Y’all!!
First time this has ever been offered at Microsoft and it will affect employees in India, The United States, Canada, and the UK at level 70 or below…
Employees find out in a few hours if they are being targeted for this.
This just makes me think that H127 layoffs sound intense. Is this a pre-layoff round?
Also makes me wonder if they changed some scheduled layoffs due to be called out by @VP. Peace offering? 🤔 Timing is just interesting.
More to come.
Really enjoyed this conversation with Jeff Gothelf! We talked about hiring, curiosity, and what makes teams truly successful. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it! Coming this Tuesday.
Would you hire the most talented person in the room, or the person who makes the whole team better?
@jboogie author of Lean UX and Forever Employable, believes curiosity and humility are among the most important qualities to look for when hiring.
We explore this and more in our new episode of Who We Hire, coming Tuesday! @LuizCent

10x more code, 10x more revenue? If only business worked that way! 😂
I had a great conversation with @MegBear about the real cost of AI and why more productivity doesn't automatically mean more money.
So, are we measuring AI's output or its actual impact? @who_wehire
One idea that stuck with me from my talk with @yonitseru, co-founder and CEO of Lusha: “We’re all builders again.”
AI is changing the playbook. How do you hire people who can thrive when there is no playbook? New episode live now! @who_wehire
Sales is one of the hardest roles to hire for because the skills that matter most aren't always easy to spot in an interview or a résumé.
John Betancourt, shared a rule I found interesting: never hire a salesperson without referrals.
Would you follow that rule? @who_wehire
Managing performance and developing potential aren't the same thing.
@Mallikarjunan, VP at Pearl, makes a great point: managers need to understand where people want to go, not just how they're doing today.

I like this distinction from @hnshah CEO of Crazy Egg.: you can like someone and still not be the right fit for how your team works.
When we hire, are we evaluating how people actually operate, or just how well we connect with them in an interview? @who_wehire
Maybe the best hiring strategy is to become the place people never want to leave!
Joe Walsh, CEO of Thryv, shared with me how the company grew its team in the Dominican Republic from 88 to 788 people. To learn more, listen to the full episode. @who_wehire
I found Kris Lawson’s story fascinating: competing against hundreds of salespeople with a team of just two, and only 40 names in the database.
The secret: building a partner army was key to scaling Snowflake Canada.
Sometimes, growth is about who’s in your corner.

I totally agree with @TravMariea , founder of Flxpoint, on this: AI may eliminate some roles, but it will also force others to evolve. @who_wehire

Interview answers can be rehearsed. Motivation is harder to fake.
@alinutzav co-founder & co-CEO at Chili Piper, looks at body language and asks about the day-to-day work to understand what genuinely motivates a candidate.
Can't miss this convo! Alina's insights are gold 🥇
I was thinking today about my talk with @alinutzav, co-founder & co-CEO at Chili Piper, and her approach to motivation.
She doesn’t just listen to what candidates say. She digs into whether the actual day-to-day work excites them.
That’s a very different way of interviewing. 🤯
